Can you explain the tracking phenomenon?
Please check the following regarding tracking phenomenon.
The tracking phenomenon occurs when dust that accumulates in the gap between an outlet and a plug, or in a ventilation fan motor, absorbs moisture in the air, causing a current leak and resulting in a fire.
Tracking phenomenon can cause serious fires, so regular cleaning is necessary.
《Cleaning Procedures》
1. Unplug the power cord from the outlet and remove any dust with a dry cloth.
2. Turn off the ventilation fan, remove the cover, and remove any dust with a dry cloth.
